"Q1. At Toy Fair, it was said that there would not be another 12 pack of the Legion of Super-Heroes due to the amount of time and resources it would involve. However, I believe I read that there were other figures in the works. Can you speak to that? Any thoughts of 2 or 3 packs? I love the 12 pack, but there’s so many more that we need!

A1. Yes. That is a fair assessment. While this item was a hit, it threw such a wrench into our schedule that is wound up delaying a lot of other product that needed resources too!"

Alas, I don't find the response clear as to whether there'll be more Legion figures (other than the already announced Star Man for Club Infinite Earths), but I'd guess so given the "hit" status of the 12-pack, particularly that they did a second run of it.

It wasn't really a second run. They hold back a certain percentage of stock for customer service issues - then sell what they have left under the "second run". So, it's not like they went back and produced more based on its success. Hope they make some female figures and a Saturn Girl in the pink bikini.

It's been a while since I last bought action figures, but I'm still a big fan of the Legion. In fact, I've been reviewing Waid's run on my blog. Feel free to check it out and leave me a comment if you want.

If they were just "holding back" a certain percentage, why did the second release have a different box? I hope that if we keep hounding Matty about Legion figures they will relent with more figures so that we can finally get a complete Legion....so I can play with them in bed on weekend mornings!
